:29:01
I'll pay off double if we make it.
:29:03
Only two guys whistle in the Navy.
Boatswain's mates and boots.
:29:07
You a boatswain's mate?
:29:08
I'm sorry, Mike. I forgot.
:29:11
You hear that music?
:29:12
- Reminds me of a dame I knew in Frisco.
- Here we go again.
:29:16
She was built for speed,
like a destroyer.
:29:19
- Oh, now I listen.
- Kind of compact too, like a submarine.
:29:22
She was coming down Sutter Street.
Off my starboard beam.
:29:26
I sees her and says, "Up periscope."
:29:28
I gives my motor a third back and
maneuvers for an opening shot.
:29:33
She picks me up on her detector.
:29:35
Gives her rudder a hard left.
Makes like she's looking in the window.
:29:39
Naturally, I gives my rudder
a hard right and moves...
:29:44
... right up alongside her. She's beautiful.
But beautiful!
:29:48
Comes up to about my chin.
Fits just right.
:29:50
Well, neither of us breaks silence.
:29:53
Naturally, there's a long pause.
We're both running on batteries now.
:29:57
Something electric is going on between
her and me.
:30:00
I'd been on patrol three months.
:30:03
And this was
my first night ashore.
:30:04
Now, you guys know how it is.
:30:07
There she was in a nice, clean, crisp,
lacy blouse.
:30:12
And she looked
just like she had a bath.
:30:15
So she looked like she had a bath.
:30:18
She even smelled like geranium.
:30:20
So she even smelled like geraniums.
Then what?
:30:23
Here we are, hove to,
with her smelling like geraniums...
:30:27
...and me with three months' pay
in my whites.
:30:29
- I'll never forget it!
- Never forget what, Wolf?
:30:32
Some dames have lips that
are curved all right.
:30:35
But when you kiss them, you find they
have lips as hard as a warhead?
:30:39
Well, you could tell hers
was as soft as silk.
:30:44
Just enough lipstick. Just right.
:30:48
Well, what did you do about it?
:30:51
I was so busy drinking her in
out of my starboard lamps...
:30:55
... that I don 't see this Market Street
commando hove to alongside her.
:30:59
I'm trying to get a recognition signal
out of her...
